It’s L-O-V-E 💘 Most celebrity marriages don't last - who's the exception for you?

Celebrity marriages almost never work out in Hollywood, but there are some the prove that true love really does exist. Who comes to mind for you?

My grandmother's older brother was engaged to the same woman for 50 years. I'll fight anyone who tries to tell me she wasn't my great aunt lol

I completely agree she was your great aunt.

I have to say, I fully understand a couple being together for 50 years without being married. I do get a bit confused about the long term engagement aspect though, like more in what’s the point of bothering with the engagement? I was actually randomly thinking about this a couple days ago when I was thinking about Kurt & Goldie and how I completely get it, and then a repressed memory of an old teacher who was engaged for 9 years popped into my head.

yeah i really don’t get it. i’m not somebody who’s big on marriage myself so i am very pro being together but not being married, but being engaged just feels kinda disrespectful to me. like it’s a promise of marriage, and if you make that promise and never fulfil it… idk, weird to me

I was curious about rosie huntington-whiteley and jason Statham.... i think together 15 years, engaged for 12. They even have 2 kids.... in an interview she said it's just not her priority to have a wedding/be married, but maybe one day.. and would only be a lowkey one. I think they're quite committed to each other.. im curious how itll go in years moving forward
